Artemis and the nymphs by *shley77

#modernized mythology? #modernized mythology #artemis owns a nightclub called Selene; across town her brother apollo has staked his claim with Sol #dionysus probably owns a club too though his is more popular with the younger clubbing set; the ones who want to do #coke lines in the bathroom and every other person you bump into offers you X; there are back rooms specifically designated for orgies #and you’re no one until you’ve got some outrageous story from Dion’s club #but Apollo and Artemis’s places are much classier; for unwinding with the upper set #poets and artists and literati at Apollo’s; women and athletes and outdoorsmen at Artemis’s #Zeus is probably the CEO of whatever conglomeration secretly bankrolls them #Leto was probably his secretary or his coworker and they had to hide their affair unless his wife found out #god it’s so easy to adapt these stories it’s almost like human nature hasn’t changed in the last few millennia (via notbecauseofvictories)

I have such a mythology-nerd boner right now

“Essentially, we’ve created a concept where being like Hercules is the ideal. What we forget about the myth is that Hercules killed his wife and children.”

Which is actually quite interesting considering that Heracles was basically the paragon of masculinity, heroism, the claimed ancestor of about half a dozen clans and his cult even survived into the Roman era (Hercules) with several notable romans trying to get in on the act.

We also tend to forget he was not only strong and brave, but clever, and smart.  And bisexual as all hell - in fact he was noted for his amazing sexual prowess with partners of both sexes.

He was also driven insane by Hera, which is why he killed his wife and children (NOT EXCUSING IT, THIS IS MYTHOLOGY) and actually spent a huge chunk of his life trying to make amends.  This is where the labours come from - which actually ended up resulting in the destruction of most of the archaic terrors that plagued mankind.

So yeah, original fridge origin hero, epitome of manhood, ra ra ra but somewhere along the way we lost the parts that said a mentally ill, butt-fuckin’ clever man who knew how to humble himself was the greatest hero ever known to mankind.
